# If you only need to load some pages from another PDF, you can accomplish it
# with the <code>start_new_page</code> method. You may pass it a
# <code>:template</code> option with the path for an existing pdf and a
# <code>:template_page</code> option to specify which page to load.
# You can also load a <code>:template</code> using a URI:
#
# <code>require 'open-uri'</code>
#
# <code>start_new_page(:template => open('url_for_your.pdf'))</code>
#
# The following example loads some pages from an existing PDF. If we don't
# specify the <code>:template_page</code> option, the first page of the template
# PDF will be loaded. That's what happens on the first load below. Then we load
# a page by specifying the <code>:template_page</code> option and then we do it
# again this time adding some content to the loaded page.
